Alpha Pro Nutrition Upload

Alpha Pro Nutrition Upload Review

Alpha Pro Nutrition Upload is a pre workout supplement in powder form, that the product advertising claims will provide you with a dramatic increase in energy and mental focus, and even help recuperation and sleep after your workout. According to the product information, it is the company’s flagship product.

The supplement comes in a choice of two flavours; Watermelon Splash or Pineapple Mango that you just add to water and drink.

The main ingredient is a proprietary blend called the Upload Tunnel Vision Matrix, which contains amino acids including branded supplements.

The principle ingredient of this, is CarnoSyn a branded Beta Alanine supplement which at 2000mg per serving, is a little underpowered (3000mg to 6000mg is more usual). It also contains 600mg of Agma Max, a supplement based on Agmatine sulfate. Both these components are supposed to boost nitric oxide in the blood, so increase stamina and blood flow.

According to the product information, there is 4198mg of active ingredients in total which means that after the CarnoSyn and the Agma Max content of2600mg is accounted for, there is 1598mg shared between the rest of the ingredients.

These include amino acids such as L Tyrosine, Glutamine, and Taurine, plus Caffeine and Guarana, Coconut Water, and Rhodiola Rosea.

All these ingredients may do something, but it is impossible to gauge to real effects because nobody knows the exact balance of this formula. We suspect it is going to contain a lot of caffeine!

Other ingredients are vitamin B6 and sodium Nitrate. Check out the ingredients tab to find out more.

According to the company information, Alpha Pro Nutrition is one of the fastest growing companies worldwide and is poised for greatness. This seems unlikely. There is zero background information to Alpha Pro Nutrition such as a company address or phone number, or any names such as the founder of the company.

We did some digging through the Los Angeles business register, and were unable to find Alpha Pro Nutrition listed anywhere. We can’t see this company taking over the world with their supplement brand if we cannot even locate them in their hometown.

We covered Alpha Pro Nutrition Vex in a previous review, which left us feeling very vexed about this supplement.

What Does Alpha Pro Nutrition Upload Claim To Do?

According to the advertising there are five key features:

• Agmatine for massive pump
• Mental focus
• Increased strength & power
• Enhanced blood flow
• CarnoSyn for endurance

The product description claims it works instantly in numerous ways,

“From the very first dose you will experience a dramatic increase in energy, mental focus, alertness and concentration.

Neurotransmitters fire up in your brain creating mental sharpness for concentrating on the task at hand.

Muscular strength reaches your highest levels and your muscles quickly engorge with fresh nutrient-rich blood as overall fatigue is pushed back.

A dramatic increase in recuperation takes place on a cellular level.”

The ingredients profile is explained,

“Everything is added for a reason; everything in perfect balance and nothing is superfluous.”

This all sounds impressive of course. But there is no real evidence that this formula will work as described. We would have loved to have seen some links to clinical evidence for example.

According to Alpha Nutrition, Upload is the company’s flagship product.

Does Alpha Pro Nutrition Upload Work?

It might do something, exactly what, we are not quite sure. CarnoSyn a Beta Alanine supplement is the principle ingredient at 2000mg per serving. Beta Alanine is an amino acid that is a precursor to Carnosine which is stored in the cells. It helps regulate muscle building and can increase endurance, so is well known as a sports nutritional supplement but is usually consumed at between 3000mg and 6000mg a day.

Agma Max, the other branded supplement comes with very little background info but is based on Agmatine sulfate. This seems to increase nitric oxide levels so may help you “pump “more as claimed. Agmatine may have a beneficial effect upon mood too but although research into this chemical is very promising, most research is based on injections rather than consuming by mouth. Most testing has been carried out using much higher quantities too, so whether 600mg is actually strong enough to do anything at all is unknown.

The rest of the formula is equally uncertain. Ingredient quantities are not provided so effects are pretty much unknown. However, it is safe to assume that Alpha Pro Nutrition Upload will contain a lot of caffeine, and it is possible that this will be the most noticeable effect.

What Are The Ingredients of Alpha Pro Nutrition Upload?

Serving size is equal to 1 x 6.8g scoop serving. Most of the formula comes under a proprietary blend, so ingredient information is incomplete.

Upload Tunnel Vision Matrix (4816mg):

• Beta Alanine (CarnoSyn) (2000mg): CarnoSyn is the market leader in Beta Alanine, and is a good quality supplement that has been clinically tested. Beta Alanine is an amino acid that is produced in the liver, and also available through diet such as poultry and meat. Beta Alanine is a precursor to Carnosine, and there is evidence that taking Beta Alanine increases the concentration of carnosine and therefore muscle mass. Taking beta Alanine seems more effective than taking carnosine supplements as it is more easily absorbed by the body. Source
• Agmatine Sulfate (AgmaMax) (600mg): We are very sceptical about this so called branded supplement because there is zero information about the manufacturers, and not even a product website which suggests that this is not a high quality supplement. Agmatine sulfate looks very promising in clinical studies as a nootropic and for increasing nitric oxide, but most research has looked at injections rather than oral supplements. Health advice is that it should not be paired with Creatine, also present in this supplement. Source
• N Acetyl L Tyrosine: Tyrosine is an amino acid made in body that helps the body convert fat into energy, as well as being important for mental functioning. N Acetyl-L-tyrosine helps the body make tyrosine, and in this form is especially beneficial for improving mental performance. Source
• Glutamine: The most abundant amino acid in the body. It is produced and stored in the muscles, and is important for building and maintaining muscle mass.
• Taurine: Amino acid that may help protect heart health. It used to be touted as an energy enhancer, since disproven but may have some benefits.
• Tri Creatine Malate (creatine monohydrate and malic acid blend): Tri Creatine Malate is so called because it contains three molecules of Creatine to one molecule of malic acid. Creatine is produced in the liver and its main role in the body is to help the cells recycle Adenosine diphosphate (ADP), an organic compound in the metabolism which is important for energy. Tri Creatine Malate is more easily absorbed than Creatine, and is popular with athletes looking to boost endurance and recovery.
• Caffeine: The World’s favourite stimulant. Can increase metabolism, but effects usually wear off once the user becomes accustomed to it. The recommended upper limit of caffeine is 400mg (4 cups of coffee) per day. May cause side effects.
• Raw coconut water concentrate: Coconut water is touted for just about everything at the moment. It is nutritious and generally good for health.
• Creatine pyruvate: Creatine again, this time paired with pyruvic acid. Some people believe that this form of Creatine improves blood plasma levels, but there’s no real evidence it is beneficial for bodybuilding.
• Rhodiola extract: Rhodiola Rosea is classed as an Adaptogen, meaning that it has a general beneficial effect upon health and well being, similar to the better known Panax Ginseng. Nobody knows for sure how these adaptogens work, but they contain compounds that are able to prevent the physical and chemical effects of stress.
• Guarana extract: Brazilian bean that is higher in caffeine than the coffee bean.

The supplement also contains;

• Vitamin B6 (pyroxidine hydrochloride)(5mg):
• Sodium Citrate (36mg):

Are There Any Customer Reviews For Alpha Pro Nutrition Upload?

There are some customer reviews posted on Amazon USA. There is a range of opinion. Some people like the supplement

This man liked the supplement even though it caused itchiness

I am a big fan of this product and use it every day I work on arms, shoulder, back, chest, and/or abs. The taste is great and I notice it’s effects kick in really quickly. One downside I noticed is if I don’t start working out within say 10 minutes of finishing the drink, I start getting fairly itchy in my hands and ears. Not sure why that happens, but it’s definitely correlated to this product.

And,

One of the better pre workouts I’ve tried! Clean flavor doesn’t taste nasty as like others. Gives u plenty of energy to get in the gym and get into beast mode! Would definitely buy again

Some customers complained it did nothing at all,

Did absolutely nothing, no benefit. I’ve taken lots of pre workouts and this one was the worst. No energy, waste of money.

A reviewer called Nancy didn’t mince her words, calling it a “Piece of Sh*t”
